Peg Life Vol. 17

The following albums are recommended by me, Antony Matthew Hawkins (I would bet that even those people who knew my full name at one time have forgotten it until this moment):
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Shake the Sheets (Possibly the best album I've ever downloaded and forgotten about until recently)
System of a Down - Hypnotize (I would not find it difficult to say this is my favourite System of a Down album [Vicinity of Obscenity is their best song since I-E-A-I-A-I-O])
Propagandhi - Potemkin City Limits (See also Peg Life Vol. 11)
The Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me (Ask me the definition of rock and roll and I will name this album)
Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary (I forgot why I loved I'll Believe in Anything so much and then I remembered it's the best song on an already great album)
Lady Sovereign - Vertically Challenged (If you like this check out Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, and Shystie [if you don't I'm pretty sure you should go fuck yourself {if the reason you don't like it is that you don't like hip-hop in general you should learn to appreciate music on its own terms and/or go fuck yourself}])
Kaizers Orchestra - Ompa Til Du Dør (When's the last time you heard a band sing in Norwegian anyway?)
Somaphore - In the Hands of Everyone We Know (OK, so this one hasn't actually been recorded yet and I'm not even sure the title is final but when it does come out it is going to be incredibly awesome. So awesome in fact that upon its release I will have to take my own life as I will never accomplish anything else of comparable value. In actuality I probably won't kill myself. I'll end up getting married and having children and harboring bitter resentment towards them for not living up to the magnificence of "that album I wrote the lyrics for when I was in my twenties")
So Danny's gone for three days and I'm alone in the apartment. I feel simultaneously lonely and liberated. On the one hand I can do whatever the fuck I want, but on the other I have no one to talk to or otherwise interact with. Walking around naked can only maintain its novelty for so long. It hasn't run out yet, but it's only a matter of time.

Tony Hawkins isn't nearly as interesting as he makes himself out to be
